Ok, a bit of background, I have been around Motorsport brake systems a long time. Back to Schnitzer, Alpina and factory Motorsport BMW . Alcon, Brembo, Girling, etc etc.
Came accross these Platz1 Motorsport disks on eBay. I thought the same thing you are thinking now.
So I messaged them and asked for MTR’s on disks and hats. They responded right away. Hmmm all good. But seeing and using is believing.
Ordered a set. Two days later via DHL, well packaged.
Have these on a 2017 PP after extensive examination . Install was as factory.
Paired with EBC yellow for hot street.

Will report back after break in.

They were one of the brands I came upon while researching 2 piece stock replacement rotors. HHC out of Taiwan was the other, they also do a 355mm front rotor upgrade with new carrier brackets for $795USD. Stock 340mm size is $660USD. Rear 350mm upgrade with adapter brackets comes to $760USD. Issue with the Platz1 is that it doesn't look like they are fully floating, nor does it look like they use bobbins of any kind - I fear it's just bolted together.

Are the internal vanes handed??..or is it like the VW factory fit R performance & CS discs which are handed one way so one side rotates the wrong way & overheats??...

These are directional vanes. Identified Left and Right. Did not have access to our super accurate scale, but an a postage scale these were a tad under 19 lbs.
I’ll try and get pics of the included literature. Quite interesting.

Quick update. EBC Yellow , properly bedded in, working quite well on these rotors. Rotors are quiet, no balance issues and fit up very well. Have added Audi control arm ducts/guides. So far only heavy street use, but nice improvement over stock rotors, EBC Red. Dust seems on par with stock GTI PP pads. Reds were better in that respect. But appreciating the initial and consistent bite with this set up.

Should be hitting a local DE within a few months.

Godspeed!
